Sapporo Ohashi Bridge

The Sapporo Ohashi Bridge spans across the Toyohira River with four lanes connecting the northern and southern districts of Sapporo through National Route 337.

The first phase of the bridge opened in 1988 with innovative engineering methods, while the second phase was completed in 2016 to accommodate increased traffic flow.

The bridge pillars on the Tobetsu side feature designs inspired by traditional wooden boats that were once used to cross the Ishikari River.

The bridge extends approximately 980 meters in length and includes multiple continuous girder spans, with the central section measuring 150 meters.

The steel box girder construction of the bridge incorporates specific improvements in the second phase to prevent pavement cracking issues identified in the initial design.
